I’ve trolled the living hell out of Nats fans this week, so I feel like I should throw them this bone in the form of a pretty cool video from MLB.com showing old footage from the Senators 1933 World Series appearance, old footage of presidents throwing out first pitches and some excitement/whatever involving this year’s Nats team. It’s pretty cool.

Note: the stands were full in the 1933 footage. Because back then it was the Great Depression and no one had to make the unconscionable choice between going to work and seeing the playoffs.

Having the best record in the league and getting your ass kicked in the NLDS. No, this season will end as a big disappointment. Have you watched any other playoff games? That’s how postseason baseball is supposed to be played.

The problem is not that they’re going to lose but the way they’re losing. Getting embarrassed at home like that. 12-4 and 8-0. Look at almost every other game this postseason. Really close exciting games. I have no confident that Detweiler can get this win. Actually it will be a miracle if he does. Even then who will show up bad Gio or good Gio? They could lose 20-0 and you would put a homer spin on it.

Ahhh run differential. Just like when the 1960 NY Yankees embarrassed the Pittsburgh Pirates, 55 runs to 27 runs in the World Series.
